You should try to locate his family, especially if you are not even sure about the child's nationality.

Birth certificates are usually provided by the appropriate authorities of the child's country of birth. Usually, it can be issued to a child or his parents, or his guardian. You may want to contact child's embassy for assistance.

If it's been established by the court that a child has been orphaned or abandoned, there could be immigration options available to the child, pertaining to applying for child's residency in USA.
